Splash & Steamer,

If when I go to the car wash and I was told that I had to take the first layer of dust off myself I would go elsewhere.

They major reason why carpet cleaners don't vacuum (they know they should) is because they know they can get away with it. Click here for Dry Soil Removal Post Apr. 26/04

HooBoy will also get all his answers here. I don't want my dentist, doctor, mechanic etc. to cut corners. Most who you pay a little more for don't.

HOOBOY: Oh boy: A pile lifter has two motors and a big brush.  A vacuum has a brush/beater bar.  One is for heavy duty vacuuming on commerical and the other just is.Guitar

Just My opinion

Sorry, I don't follow your comment. I'm asking specific information regarding the physical difference between a pile lifter and a regular vacuum cleaner.

Please excuse my newbie questions. I'm sincere and trying to get some information here. Your patience is appreciated.

 

Thank you.

How does a pile lifter differ specifically from a normal vacuum cleaner with beater bar?

I have a Sanitaire

 

but I was actually given an old pile lifter for free today and all it needs is brushes.

I'll be trying it out on a big commercial job this weekend.

I like my Sanitaire cuz it's tough as nails and agitates very well,but loves them belts.

Ted most good carpet cleaners insists that the customer should vac and move breakables before the cleaners arrival...

Thats the way it's been ever since I've been doing it

Quality has nothing to do with it.

Danger
Those who vacuum dry dust and lint into a hot water extractor will find they have no dry filtering device to accumulate the dust and it will only blow back out the machines exhaust causing your customer a dust problem. In other words you will take it from the carpet and put it on the furniture.

Now if you would like to dry-vacuum with a carpet extractor click here.
